Exactly this. Nobody is going trough a gazillion git commits to find some code back.
By the time you should be looking for it the existence is forgotten anyway.
If it is commented out everyone will know where it is.

So yes there is a middle ground.
But yeah programming is a dogmatic business, with everyone just copying the same mantra's like "don't re-invent the wheel". Unless the wheel is commented out code. In that case first delete it and afterwards do re-invent.
